User Reviews

Users praise engaging, educational History content and on-the-go access, with Oak Island as a fan favorite. However, they repeatedly fault heavy, repetitive ads that disrupt playback, ad-driven crashes, limited access to locked shows, and occasional app instability. Addressing ad handling, content access, and performance would substantially improve the experience for History: Shows & Documentaries fans.

Cons

Ads include political content or non-English (Spanish) ads that detract from the experience.

I have been watching The Food That Built America and it has been so laggy and choppy for me that it’s very annoying. I don’t know if this is because I’m not signed in but non the less it’s bothering me

Great content but the ad experience needs work!

I’ve been following the stories of treasure and history of Oak Island for several years. Each season is interesting, well edited and keeps the history and narrative moving towards a future conclusion.
